RIDING WITH THE QUEEN
Jennie Shortridge
"This skillfully written novel is gripping from the get-go.
Tenderly and without ever blinking, Jennie Shortridge evokes the psychic
damage of childhood--and the will to survive. A life-affirming
must-read."
Caroline Hwang
Author of In Full Bloom
Full of big dreams of the fast life, Tallie Beck hit the road at the age
of seventeen to become a rock and roll star—and vowed never to look
back. Now, at thirty-four, she’s little more than a down-and-out
singer who smokes and drinks too much and knows better than to make
promises she can’t keep.
Dumped by her latest band and low on cash, Tallie has no choice but to
go back to Denver. Back to her crazy mother and her resentful younger
sister, Jane, who’s never forgiven her for leaving. And after so many
miles on that long, exhilarating, scary—and often lonely—road,
she’s looking back to trace some wrong turns and figure out a way to
where she really wants to go.
From an authentic new voice in fiction, and written with a sharp
understanding of both family conflict and family love, Riding with the
Queen is a story of running away, running on empty . . . and finally,
learning to run your own life.
"Like the novel she inhabits, Tallie Beck is funny, sexy, smart,
and heartbreakingly real. A wonderful debut."
Louise Redd
